Kwara Governor Leads NGF in Condolences for Plateau Violence, Lauds Security Efforts
Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) Chairman and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman Abdulrazaq led a delegation of the NGF on Thursday to extend condolences to the government and people of Plateau State following recent violence in parts of the state.
During the visit to Jos, Governor Abdulrazaq expressed sympathy to the families of victims and praised the efforts of security agencies, which he credited with preventing further escalation of the crisis. The delegation was received by Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
Speaking at the event, Governor Abdulrazaq stated: "On behalf of the NGF and the people of our states, I convey sincere condolences to the people of Plateau over the tragic loss of lives. The security forces' swift actions deserve recognition in curbing potential unrest."
"We call on leaders and influencers across all communities and sectors in Plateau to join His Excellency in the task of uniting the people and restoring sustainable peace. Leaders, including youth leaders, should come together to speak strongly against violence of any kind. We urge that we resolve our differences through dialogue, fair negotiations, mutual respect, and perspective taking.
"Sustainable development can be a mirage in an atmosphere of tension and violence. Plateau is full of potentials especially in agriculture and tourism. But these potentials could be affected negatively if we allow violence or threats of it to define how people see our communities.
"We commend His Excellency the Governor for his leadership at this critical moment. Our visit is to express our solidarity with His Excellency and the government and good people of Plateau State. We pray to God Almighty to repose the souls of the victims and restore peace to our communities."
